Audubon's Purple Finch Red Birds Vintage Art Watch

Poster with Audubon's Purple Finch trio perched on an evergreen conifer branch (black larch) with cones. Despite the name these birds are actually red. He made careful observations of the bird's plumage, behavior, and habitat, and he used these observations to create his plate. The purple finch is a winter visitor to many parts of North America, and its arrival is often seen as a sign of hope for the coming spring. This nature art with two brightly colored male birds and one female bird makes a great winter scene. The red and green dominate colors of the art make it a festive painting as well. Vintage art reproduction of a John James Audubon original art print. Plate four of Audubon's "Birds of America" series. It is the state bird of New Hampshire, the purple finch symbolizes energy and happiness.
